Employers
Investing in people is the key to growing your business and apprenticeships can be a cost-effective way to give your apprentices the skills they need to meet the workplace demands of the future.
We partner with you, supporting you at every stage of the apprenticeship programme with expert knowledge and offering adaptable digital solutions so you can deliver apprenticeships that work for your business and your apprentices.
Our apprenticeships offer
Our products and services are modular and can be crafted and personalised to your business. The expert guidance we provide will enable you to introduce apprenticeships for the first time and help you make the most of your apprenticeship levy.
We break down our apprenticeship standards offer into on programme and end-point assessment to ensure your apprentices meet the different standard requirements.
How we can help
On-programme learning
Our qualifications and learning resources are designed to help apprentices develop work-based skills and behaviours for a successful career. Our expertise is in developing job-focused learning content across every level, from learners taking our vocational BTEC qualifications to degree apprentices studying at Pearson College.
End-point assessment (EPA)
We put EPA at the heart of apprenticeship planning, embedding regular touchpoints with employers and training providers to ensure apprentices are fully prepared for EPA. As one of the largest providers of EPA services for apprenticeship standards in England, our high quality service supports you and your apprentices throughout the EPA journey.
Apprenticeship guidance and information
There’s a lot to understand and many choices to make about what’s right for your organisation. We’ve developed an extensive range of advice and guidance content to support you in planning, designing, implementing and delivering successful apprenticeship programmes.
The levy means many employers pay into a fund to be used for apprenticeships training and assessment. Understanding how the funding works, the system that supports it and how it integrates with organisation's finance functions is another key step on your apprenticeships journey.
Properly planning your apprenticeships programme is the first step towards making your programme a reality. It’s important to make informed decisions about training providers, the types of apprenticeships you introduce and how you recruit apprentices.
The design and implementation of the on-programme training phase of apprenticeships is crucial to apprentices successfully acquiring the knowledge, skills and behaviours set out in apprenticeship standards. Well-supported apprentices, working through a carefully designed programme of both on and off-the-job training will become valuable assets to your workforce.
Assessment of apprentices having the knowledge, skills and behaviours set out in the apprenticeship standard is the final hurdle to qualified and competent employees entering your workforce. Working with an end-point assessment organisation (EPAO) like Pearson to plan assessment from early on in the apprenticeship will help your apprentices be ready to undertake EPA with confidence.
